Not all the cities in Broward county have
passport application acceptance facilities. If the city or town in
which you live does not have one, look to see if one exists in a
neighboring city. Most passport offices require an appointment. Please call before visiting.

At the passport office, an authorized passport agent will verify Form DS-11
and supporting documents, administer an oath and witness the signing of
the application. Then, everything will be put in an envelope with payment for fees and sealed. The address to which your passport application is sent depends on the processing time you choose.

for those who request expedited service is 2-3 weeks. The time it takes
to process your application can be extended if passport services needs
to request additional documents.

Applicants who need express passport service in less time have

passport at the Miami Passport Agency. An appointment is required.

A second option for those who cannot personally visit the regional
agency in Miami is to employ the services of a registered expediter
such as Fastport Passport. Regional agencies expedite passport applications in a few days to as fast as the same day.
